When I first started hunting 55+ years ago the only LH bolt guns were Savage and Weatherby and I couldn't afford a WBY. I had a 110 in 243 that I shot a lot of deer with then got one in 300 WM. Got rid of both of them for a Rem 700 BDL 270 that went everywhere with me and killed dozens of animals. Sold that when I got my Browning Micro Hunter.
I still shoot RH rifles and can work a RH bolt pretty quickly.

Ambi pistols don’t get talked about enough. I’m with you, all of my new pistols have to be Ambi. Not reversible, but Ambi. I recently bought the FN FNX and love it. FN seems to think Ambi is important. There are a few H&K that meet the requirements too and even the new Ruger American pistol. The Ruger looks to be kind of a cheap set up, but scores major points with me for being fully Ambi. When it comes to shooting pistols, I was always taught to practice as much with weak hand as with the strong hand and Ambi makes it more fun. Most people I talk to don’t think that kind of practice is necessary, but I do.

None-a-yer-beez-wax.

Do to permanent vision loss I have switched to Left hand long guns and still shoot pistols just fine right handed.

JRC Breakdown 45ACP

Stack Barrels for most of my shotguns

None!

I’m left handed but was lucky enough to be right eye dominant and to have had an uncle that realized it early on and taught me to shoot right handed. I feel bad for guys that are left handed/left eye dominant and have so few left handed guns to choose from.

I'm "down to" a few Mauser 3000's (2 in 270, an '06 and a 7 mag), a couple of Mark V's (.270 Wby and .300 Win), a Sako AV Classic in .338 Win, and a 700 CDL in .223. Also a Rem 1100 and a Stag AR. All lefties.

LH specific shooters include:

Rem 700 BDL .270 1972 vintage
(which replaced 1972 788 .308 ................... not sure that was a wise decision but I hated the RH ejection)
Rem 700 BDL .308
Browning Micro 7-08
Browning Micro 308
Savage 110 7-08
Tikka T3 30-06
Lyman Deerstalker .50 cal flinter
Lyman GPR .54 cal flinter
Rem 870 - 20g
Rem 1100 Trap
Benelli M1 - 12g
Fabarm Axis 12-g trap
Beretta O/U trap
Savage .22 LR

Still waiting for that left hand Model 7 to appear but doubt that will ever materialize.

I am a true LH / left eye dominant sinistral person. Surprisingly, both our adopted sons (different birth parents) are right handed and left eye dominant. I identified that disability at a young age so at least they can use their old man's guns with both eyes open.

I don't think Remington ever made a Left Hand Model 7. (Could be wrong.) Long story short, built a faux LH M7 about 20 years ago. LH Rem 700 Short Action, McMillan Model 7 stock inlet for the LH SA receiver, 20" SS Rem M7 take off barrel chambered .243 Win, Burris 2x8 Signature scope (small objective). With the standard fill McM stock, not the lightest rifle I have ever owned. But, it kills stuff just fine...

Do you mean Browning T-bolt? If not, I didn’t know that Browning made the X-bolt in 22lr.

tikka t3x 6.5 cm. Zeiss 4.5x14 conquest

Years ago...both new

Grabbed a LH Ruger hawkeye std. 3006 the last year of production

Later snagged a LH Tikka T3 lite ss 3006 that the local cabelas had on clearance.

LH Rem 700 in 270 from 1972 (first year production for LH Rifles from what I gather)
LH Weatherby Accumark in 257 Weatherby
LH Ruger 77 MKII in 300 WM
LH Rem 788 in 308
LH Rem 700 Stainless in 7MM STW

Had a LH Rem 700 in 30-06 but sold it here.

I’ve been looking for a Ruger American in 308 or 7mm-08, or a Browning X-Bolt in the same calibers, preferably the micro midas version.

OOOpppps. Yes Sir I did/do mean T-Bolt:)

I figured that’s what you meant but wanted to confirm. I just recently learned that the Browning A-Bolt was made in 22LR, and didn’t know if Browning began making the X-Bolt in 22LR. Thanks for clarifying.

Just brought this LH SBE 3 home today.

i have a lh 308 scout rifle, a precision/tac rifle in 308 manners stock, bartlin barrel, remington action, a 280 ai remington 700 action break, little heavier than a sporter barrel, , and a 300 win mag with hs stock and botton metal, standard contour barrel, . all but the scout have had a lot of work. i need a heavy rifle, maybe a 375 to round out my battery for moose and brown bear, hopefully buffalo

I used to feel that way to, but when you look at some of the redundant nonsense available to righties I’m happy from the port side. I would like a reliable left handed 20 gauge gas operated semi auto though.

+1 and not a benelli

I sent my LH SBEII down the road. Inertia recoil was punishing my surgically repaired shoulder. I am very happy with my LH Beretta A400 gasser with Kick-Off. 12s feel like 20s. The difference is noticeable.

Its taken quite a while to get these rifles as extremely rare in Australia, I remember the Winchester in 375H&H took over 2 years on order...and you will notice I prefer CRF

Winchester Safari Express 375H&H
Winchester Classic Sporter 30/06

CZ 550 Safari Magnum 375H&H
CZ 527 Lux 223Rem

Steyr Mannlicher SM12 9.3x62

Very nice. They're equally rare in the states.

The only LH rifle I currently own is a 60's vintage model 700 in .270 Win. I've been on the hunt for a LH .243 and a 30-06 for a while now.

Browning T-Bolt 22LR Sporter
Browning T-Bolt 17 HMR Varmint

Most are ambidextrous:
Weihrauch HW77 .22 pneumatic

4x Winchester 1885
Browning BPS 12ga

The only RH's I own are my first Glenfield Model 60 22LR from 50 years ago & my AR-15. I really prefer a LH gun & debated a long time on whether to get a LH AR-15. Eventually decided since all of my hunting buddies owned one as well & it is a military "standard" to go with the more common variant that everyone was familiar with. Still don't know if I made a good choice. It's a Wilson Combat chambered in 300 HAM'R & eventually it will become my nighttime Texas hog gun. I haven't had a chance to test it out thoroughly yet. I came really close to getting a LH Browning BAR in .308 instead because I wanted this particular rifle to be semi-auto.

Being right-handed but having a terrible right eye, I can still shoot right when I want / need to. I shot my last deer right-handed @ 150 meters because I was in a stand & it was to my left at an angle that made rotating for left-handed shooting awkward. Good optics tends to overcome some of my sight shortcomings. But it's been a lifelong defect so shooting left is way more natural now & not nearly as much of a strain. Because of the close range, bow hunting is the only thing I do exclusively right-handed & right-eyed. My pistol shooting is mixed right-handed left-eyed.

Got a couple leveractions. Wish I had some dedicated lefty rifles. I want to hunt moose again and some Africa game.
